Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Do any folks I know have any recommendations for my friend here?

I am going to kindly share, as a Black person used to dodging these types of things, if you have your settings set to autoplay video, today is a great day to turn them off. You can be very informed without having to witness murder.

Daniel has the first footage of the shooting on the ground in Minneapolis. He has publicly told NYT to pound sand (see below) as well as CBS (fuck Bari Weiss). He also witnessed the murder & is currently on the streets, with the people. You **can** have principles, even in Hell, & they *do* matter.

David Cochrane on Trump and Trumpism: "America isn't the way it is because he's president. He's president because America is the way it is."

One of the huge perks of working at a software company is, when there's something about the product that bothers you personally, you can get your hands dirty and find out why it's basically impossible to get fixed

My package with Purolator was on the vehicle for delivery today, so naturally it was not delivered due to "weather delay"

I made it through the first day back to work

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

I'm at the NYE party. Nobody is in the basement so I'm hanging out there. There's music playing and "I'm just a kid" by Simple Plan started playing... So naturally that's when someone opened the door and was like "oh I thought the party was down here" and promptly turned around and left 😂😂😂

For whatever reason, I have a hard time with some of the Hoya where people are like "ohhh it's sooo easy" - for me they just die. Meanwhile the hard to grow ones I don't have a problem with. This post brought to you by killing my second Cumingiana, and seeing my Serpens snaking around a ceramic tree

Bit slippy out, eh?

I am on vacation... while I have been on my computer I have not been all over the social media. Mostly been listening to podcasts an gaming which has been nice! I learned to fly a spaceship which is pretty cool

Alt text: itsvivankaye Dear American friends, we don't have CBS in Canada. We have Canadian networks with licensing agreements to air your shows. The 60 Minutes CECOT episode wasn't "leaked" or "smuggled" to Canada. It just aired at it's regularly scheduled time because ...

Stewart's family is playing a Christmas version of CAH and any time they start arguing the loudest thing I can hear is Stewart laughing at them fighting

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Sigh. Once again, if you are warning us about fascism while posting on Substack you’re asking us to do work YOU 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 WILLING 👏 TO 👏 DO.

My house is (mostly) clean.. some of the presents are wrapped... I am somewhat prepared for the holidays.

I made it to vacation time

this is the thing i've been trying to get at - it's entirely possible someone on global or bell's side knew and failed to take action. but it's more likely that half the staff checked out for the holiday on friday afternoon & no one checked email on the wknd. set it & forget it.

Got woken up by the wind, still awake because of the wind.... Still no power

So ring lights actually make pretty decent emergency lights for general lighting up the room situations

Hearing wind blew part of the roof off the giant tiger in Fredericton. Its breezy for sure #NB

RIP power

#FFXIV do it for .

Steam sale is live... I am in danger

Im still mad we normalized sacrificing old and disabled populations so we could "get back to normal" because theyre 'the weak ones' and 'at risk'. Remember what society is supposed to DO. Shit is ghoulish to accept without a fight.

i believe people when they say linux has gotten better in the last few years. what i'm skeptical of is that linux Guys have improved. i will not use an OS where i'm at high risk of someone calling me stupid for not liking some aspect of the experience. i must be allowed to hate the computer

Got my Stay Home Club Black Friday order and.... half the free gifts are missing. Specifically the tote. Bummer.

Kids today are encouraged to sniff glue

Everyone is not "a little" autistic Everyone is not "a little" ADHD Everyone is not "a little" OCD To be diagnosed with these conditions, a person must be meaningfully impaired by them.

Made it through the week! Weekend, it is here, let's gooooo take a nap

Ok this is very cool??

Naturally today in the last 20 minutes of my workday, I started working on something that got me really interested - so I didn't finish it today. Guess I have something to be excited about tomorrow?

The Girl Guides of Canada say: Be prepared to protect trans rights.

Exciting Saturday evening activity, Stewart gave himself a haircut for the first time - naturally I got to be a second set of eyes. He did a good job, looks very dapper!

I caved and purchased from the Aritzia sale... All different colours of stuff I already have. Not the worst purchase because I know I'll like it!

Alright Bluesky, I would love to hear your recommendations of Canadian businesses you are shopping from for gifts for the holidays. Specific product recommendations are also welcome!

I had like 2-3 places I wanted to buy from during sales and for whatever reason, having not bought those things was blocking me from thinking about Christmas shopping sooooo I just bought the things. Now to Christmas shop.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

All of this. And even past this, "I would rather potentially have a child dead from a painful and preventable disease than potentially one with neurodivergence" is one HELL of a take.

He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

I am fairly certain I have a repetitive strain injury and wow is that annoying

Migraine day 4 lessgooooo

It's that time of year again 🌱

Awful migraine today, I did make it through work though so there's that.
